Learning Coach Notes:

Lesson #	Lesson Title	Notes
1	32.1 Short oo	In this module, students will focus on the short oo sound in words like book and stood. You can help your learner distinguish between this sound and the long oo sound in words like moon and boot.
2	32.2 Short oo	In this lesson, students will begin decoding words with the /oo/ sound. Pay attention to your learner’s performance on the first activity to ensure that they can distinguish between long oo and short oo. If they need additional support, try exaggerating each sound: draw out the long oo and say the /oo/ abruptly. Have your learner repeat the sounds while watching their speech patterns in the mirror.
3	32.3 Short oo	Students will practice to become fluent with decoding single-syllable short oo words that all follow a similar pattern. If your learner struggles, review the phonics lesson until they become automatic with the words. This will help them to read and write the words in context. Students will add syllables to the words in the next lesson, so the more fluent and automatic your learner is with one-syllable words, the easier they will find the multisyllabic words.
4	32.4 Short oo	Today, students will manipulate sounds in words with the /oo/ sound spelled oo. The ability to isolate and substitute sounds helps your learner recognize word families and apply these strategies to unfamiliar words.
5	32.5 Short oo	When reading simple sentences with decodable words, encourage your learner to read the sentence multiple times until they become fluent. Breaking the sentence into phrases for them can make the task more manageable. If your learner struggles with the rhyming activity, practice isolating the /oo/ sound in the word. Have them repeat the sound while looking in a mirror. Have them contrast it with how they say the long oo sound. Then, they can add the ending and find the rhyming word.
